Abstract

Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney is a rare aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. We describe FDG PET/CT findings in a case of malignant rhabdoid tumor of the renal allograft with regional lymph node and pulmonary metastases. The primary renal tumor and lymph node metastases showed intense FDG uptake. The pulmonary metastases showed minimal FDG uptake due to small size. Posttreatment FDG PET/CT showed no evidence of residual disease. This case suggests that FDG PET/CT may be useful in the management of malignant rhabdoid tumor from the transplanted kidney.
